Psalms 45:6

Jesus Christ

4 In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

5 Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.

Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

8 All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
